Looks like someone forgot about the 3-2-1 rule. Teachable moment.

This person lost 3 months of work because they couldn't be assed to backup their data despite having three months to do so.

Never trust an OS, or a piece of software, to protect you. Protect yourself.

3 backups: 2 different places/media on-site 1 off-site

What about 2 offsite and 1 onsite? That's been my approach, mostly due to storage limitations onsite.
